A plain English explanation of this ACT planning and property term.
A Performance Requirement is a requirement under the NCC that specifies the level of performance a building solution, building element, plumbing system, or drainage system must achieve to demonstrate compliance. It establishes the required outcome rather than prescribing a specific material, design, or construction method.
A Performance Requirement states the minimum level of safety, health, amenity, accessibility or sustainability the building must achieve. Every building solution must satisfy the applicable Performance Requirements.
